Midori no Kaze: February 2006

Mickey Says Time Out

As I've mentioned in my previous entries, the past few weeks have been terribly busy and hellish, but fortunately, life comes up with little surprises that make you smile and realize, that things aren't as bad as they seem. I've been definitely working my ass of this week, and I feel so bad that on Kuya Ronnie's last night in the Philippines, I ended up sleeping on the couch. I was just really tired.

Luckily, Mickey called for a time out and gave me today, Sunday. :D Because I was so tired last night, I woke up from a dreamless, uninterrupted (even by wiwi) sleep after sleeping through dinner. I had lunch in Butterfly then I heard the 4:30 mass in San Antonio. After that, Ate, Kuya Nicky, Ate C, Mike and I watched Final Destination 3. Oh my God, I can't believe I watched it. I had my eyes closed half the time while plugging my ears and back to back with Ate C. Hahaha.

The best part though was that Mike had dinner with us at home. It made me really happy because I know it took a whole lot of guts to do that, to actually have dinner with my immediate family and not the great chan family.

When he got to the house, we watched Shrek 2 first and it was the part when Fiona took Shrek to meet her family and there was a dinner. I was so nervouse that it would turn out that way, but I'm glad it didn't. :D Pop was smiley (phew), Ate was madaldal (as usual), KN kept smiling (de ja vu kasi) and Ate C was normal. As for Mike, he ate very little. I think the coffee and a piece of See's did him some good. It's very rare that a person leaves our house eating very little. Hopefully, he'll get the hang of it and someday learn to eat what I eat for dinner: veggie sandwich :) Yumm!!! This was a great time out. I'm happy. Hopefully, this day is the beginning of something wonderful. :D

Another Week Gone By + Commitment Scale

Here I am again in the Rizal Foyer wasting away my day in school because my I/O teacher wouldn't give us a free cut (even though there is some faculty thing). Take note, my last class ended at 9 and my next class is at 5. It's a good thing thought that I've been putting my time to good use. From 9-12, I had a meeting with my Psych testing group. So if you want to help me, please check your email and have your parents or anyone you know who is married answer our survey. That really means a lot to me. Right now, I just feel so stressed. Grabe ha, I thought I was starting to get happy na. Laging nauudlot. Oh well. I just really need to get all this work done. Maybe then I won't be so depressed. Oh, plus the fact that I think the cause of my death will be pop's driving, school's gotta end really soon. Bad trip, he won't let me drive pa. I asked him and his answer is always, "I'm scared. I have to be sure you're magaling na." Well, how does he expect me to be magaling when I can only drive on weekends under his supervision. So much for getting a non-pro. Lesson #1: trust your children because they know what they're capable of doing.

Well, here I am now, again, with Aud. It's a good thing she's my classmate in all my subjects. We practically spent the entire day together except for lunch. I hope we're able to relax naman, even for a while befeore we start I/O class. Waaaahhh!!!! I wanna go home and SLEEP!!!. There's a dinner pa pala in Butterfly tonight. Oh well, the best thing about all this coming to pass is that it's going to be a Friday tomorrow. I love Fridays!!! Yipee!!!

Feeling Hot Hot Hot

THE WEATHER IS ABSOLUTELY HOT!!! Of all times not to be in Matteo, it had to be now. Grabe, I've been sweating a lot. Pretty soon, I'm gonna have to sleep with the aircon. Anyway, I've been better since my last entry. Things are starting to pick up, and good news, pop's results are ok.

I don't exactly know why I put this picture, but I just think it's cute. Maybe it's because I'm happier now. Sana tuloy-tuloy na to.

Doing Nothing

According to the Chinese horoscope, February this year is supposed to be my lucky month. Unfortunately, I haven't felt very lucky. I've been stressed since the first day of Feb. I've had tons of tests, reports and papers in one day, and my results aren't that great may I add. Then, the week after kinda mellowed, but it was kinda bad too. Oh fine, it was bad. Then there's this week. This week was more of me feeling sick.I had no semblance of a weekend cause I hardly got any sleep, plus, I have a cold. In short, it's been a depressing week. Nothing seems to go right.

Now that all this stress is somewhat being alleviated, and my health seems to cooperate with me better, I am now bored in the RSF blogging this really weird entry. It's a good thing I'm with Aud and we went to Katipunan to interview some teacher in Little Gym (who wasn't there so we just left the questionnaire). I'm just now waiting for time to pass before the last Psych Testing class of the sem. Then I'm gonna go home and eat lunch. I wish History were our last class because it was terrible. there's no use to her making people report because she keeps butting in anyway. And it's a freaking five point thing, and she keeps asking all these questions which aren't even included. I just found it down right rude.

Anyway, here's another non-sense entry again by me. Pop's results better be good or else, I'm really gonna blow up for all this unluckiness.

For Good

Ericka just sent me this song and it super hit me. How applicable. Well, life is a lesson. I guess that makes me a student of life.

This song is called For Good and it was taken from the play Wicked.

ELPHABA
I'm limited:
Just look at me - I'm limited
And just look at you -
You can do all I couldn't do, Glinda
So now it's up to you
(spoken) For both of us
(sung) Now it's up to you:

GLINDA
I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you:

Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good

ELPHABA
It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend:
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you:

GLINDA
Because I knew you:

BOTHI have been changed for good

ELPHABA
And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness
For the things I've done you blame me for

GLINDA
But then, I guess we know
There's blame to share

BOTH
And none of it seems to matter anymore

GLINDA
Like a comet pulled from orbit as it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder through the wood.
ELPHABA
Like a ship blown off it's mooring by a wind off the sea
Like a seed half-way dropped by a bird in the wood

BOTH
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
I do believe I have been changed for the better

GLINDA
And because I knew you:
ELPHABA
Because I knew you:

BOTH
Because I knew you:
I have been changed for good.

About my Wednesday, Thursday and Friday

It's been a long time since my last entry, and I blame it all on school. I've been hellweeking almost every week and finally, it ended yesterday. Last Wednesday was my last day of ALTP. I sold underwear for the Sta. Lucia Department Store, Ladies' Dept. Hehehe. My loving sisters bought underwear and swim suits from me, and frankly, I think they enjoyed the shopping experience. Then, when I got home, I sort of fell asleep on the couch where Macie started playing with me by putting the monkey stuffed toy beside me and laughing like crazy cause "Bam Bam" looked funny. God she's so cute. She can now recite the alphabet with corresponding words for every letter. Then, because I was up for another hell day, I slept at 2 am and woke up at 6 the next day,Thursday.

Yesterday, my day began with a history report wherein our teacher left Aud and I 20 minutes to report. Amazingly, my class didn't fall asleep and the report went well. We were quite confident about our topic and we were able to answer all the questions they threw at us. When the class ended, we went straight to the library to study for our Social Psych and I/O long tests. Grabe!!! Daming readings.Anyway, we only broke for lunch then we continued to study till 3. I even fell asleep and Aud couldn't wake me up. Hehehe. I must have been really tired. The rest of my day was long test and long test again. Hahaha. THen I slept again at 2 am typing my pagmumini-muning papel for philo. What a week!!!

Today, I much happier :D I don't have anything to worry about except for the stuff next week,which isn't as bad as this week. Mike picked me up and we talked. Then I had consultation for psych testing and philo, where we just played a game. Then after philo, Mike picked me up again and we had lunch in A'Veneto (according to Mike, this is how it's spelled). SARAP!!! We split a garlic, pepperoni and cheese pizza, 14 inches. My God we are so full!!! Then we had pa like 3 glasses of iced tea each. As of this moment, we are in San Francisco Coffee (cause there's wifi-I'm not a traitor to my love, Starbucks) and we're studying. Haha, studying daw. Well, I got tired of reading so I am now blogging. Mike is watching me cause I'm typing without looking at what I'm typing. He's testing me. Hahaha. Oh well, this is such a good break from everything that I've been doing this week. I needed this time to relac. I love Fridays. It's the best day of the week. I wish everyday were a Friday. :D
